• When a feeling grabs me I become it
• I’ve had a handful of moments where I felt completely alive and lifted out of myself, and they’ve always seemed like luck

• People talk about a calm, centered place inside, and I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever been there
• I fuse so completely with whatever I’m thinking or feeling

Practices that may help

1. Self-Authorship: Moving From the Socialized to the Self-Authored Mind
   Self-authorship, from Robert Kegan’s adult-development theory, is the capacity to generate your own internal standard for decisions rather than being defined by others’ expectations. It marks the shift from the "socialized mind" (made up by your environment) to the "self-authored mind" (author of your own values). It is a developmental theory describing how grown adults keep growing, not a quick technique.
2. Make the subject-object move
   Turn something that has you ("I am anxious") into something you have and can examine ("I notice anxiety in me").

8. Self-Transcendence: Beyond the Self
   Self-transcendence is the shift of focus beyond one’s own needs toward something larger — other people, a cause, the sacred, or life itself — and is consistently linked in research to meaning and well-being. Cultivating it is less about lofty experiences than about regularly turning attention and effort outward; the practices below are well-grounded, though much of the direct evidence is observational.
9. Notice the noticer
   Find the part of you that is observing the thought — and recognize it is not the thought.
   Self-as-Context (Observing Self), Made Practical
10. Observe the self with mindful distance
    Watch self-critical and self-inflating thoughts with curiosity rather than fusion — you are not what you think about yourself.
